NFHS has been known to "stretch."

I disagree. At least 10 minutes >= 10 minutes

If it's discovered at 10:00, is it going to be corrected before 9:59?

Probably not...but that's not the question.

I think we can feel rather confident that the correct answer to the question does not hinge on the difference between 10:00.000000000000 and the next femtosecond. The question is talking about things the official notices AT the 10:00 mark, when they are supposed to check these things, which is also the moment things must be set by. If they are wrong AT THAT MOMENT, they are wrong according to the rule that they are testing.

So at the 10 minute mark Coach A tells you he wants #55 to start instead of #23 -- you are not going to allow it without penalty?

Right. Now count down from 20:00.

Ok. Keep going... I'm a pudding head so I'm slow.

If you count down the 10 minute time limit from 20:00, that's going to expire when it ticks from 10:01 to 10:00.

So if you're at 10:00, the time limit has already expired.

Not necessarily.

And, not relevant to any (basketball) rule.

Yeah-huh.

(That's an invitation to offer an argument rather than a mere denial.)

For most clocks, setting the clock to 20:00 is 20:00.000000

Thr first instance of changing from 10:01 to 10:00 is really 10:00.9999999

I think the relevance part is up to you to prove.
